  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.211
  • Joseph prince: thank you for tuning in
  • 00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:12.222
  • To today's program.
  • 00:00:12.355 --> 00:00:13.957
  • I believe it's no coincidence
  • 00:00:14.090 --> 00:00:14.591
  • That you are watching this today.
  • 00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:17.694
  • I pray that, as the word of god goes forth,
  • 00:00:17.694 --> 00:00:20.263
  • You receive the breakthrough and answers
  • 00:00:20.263 --> 00:00:22.365
  • You've been asking the lord for.
  • 00:00:22.365 --> 00:00:24.534
  • Be blessed.
  • 00:00:24.534 --> 00:00:26.269
  • Joseph prince: if you're born again,
  • 00:00:26.336 --> 00:00:27.670
  • You are forgiven of all your sins--
  • 00:00:27.670 --> 00:00:29.372
  • Past, present and future.
  • 00:00:29.372 --> 00:00:30.940
  • When you partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:32.275
  • You've got to be forgiveness conscious.
  • 00:00:32.275 --> 00:00:34.310
  • You're not to be sin conscious.
  • 00:00:34.310 --> 00:00:36.412
  • Joseph prince: when god forgives your sins,
  • 00:00:36.412 --> 00:00:37.780
  • God forgives according to the riches of his grace,
  • 00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:43.153
  • Not out of the riches of his grace.
  • 00:00:43.153 --> 00:00:45.455
  • And then when he forgives us,
  • 00:00:45.455 --> 00:00:46.789
  • That means we are forgiven of all our sins--
  • 00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:48.625
  • Past, present, and future.
  • 00:00:48.625 --> 00:00:51.394
  • And let's not be afraid to say that.
  • 00:00:51.394 --> 00:00:53.296
  • Today there are voices telling us,
  • 00:00:53.296 --> 00:00:54.664
  • "yes, you are forgiven of your sins--your past sins--
  • 00:00:54.664 --> 00:00:57.534
  • But your future sins are not forgiven."
  • 00:00:57.534 --> 00:00:59.335
  • No, my friend.
  • 00:00:59.335 --> 00:01:00.670
  • We are forgiven of all our sins--
  • 00:01:00.670 --> 00:01:02.038
  • Past, present, and future--
  • 00:01:02.038 --> 00:01:03.640
  • Because we are forgiven according to the riches
  • 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.775
  • Of his grace.
  • 00:01:05.775 --> 00:01:07.110
  • Joseph prince: if you know you are forgiven,
  • 00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:08.444
  • There's such a peace.
  • 00:01:08.444 --> 00:01:10.146
  • And the peace translates into health.
  • 00:01:10.146 --> 00:01:11.981
  • Joseph prince: jesus forgives sins.
  • 00:01:11.981 --> 00:01:13.316
  • He heals the disease.
  • 00:01:13.316 --> 00:01:14.651
  • Always in the gospels, you find him--
  • 00:01:14.651 --> 00:01:16.553
  • Every time he forgives sins, the person is healed.
  • 00:01:16.553 --> 00:01:19.789
  • So by the same token, if you're able to believe
  • 00:01:19.789 --> 00:01:21.758
  • That your sins are forgiven, your body will line up.
  • 00:01:21.758 --> 00:01:24.727
  • You will start producing health and wholeness
  • 00:01:24.727 --> 00:01:26.296
  • In your life.
  • 00:01:26.296 --> 00:01:27.630
  • Joseph prince: the belief that if people know
  • 00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:28.965
  • They are forgiven much, they will go crazy, they will--
  • 00:01:28.965 --> 00:01:32.235
  • It's not true at all.
  • 00:01:32.235 --> 00:01:33.570
  • In fact, it gives you a calmness before god
  • 00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:38.041
  • To know that you don't have to worry.
  • 00:01:38.041 --> 00:01:40.143
  • When you come to god, you're always forgiven.
  • 00:01:40.143 --> 00:01:42.645
  • You cannot be unforgiven.
  • 00:01:42.645 --> 00:01:43.980
  • Joseph prince: ahead of you is not darkness,
  • 00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.815
  • But light and brightness and the glory.
  • 00:01:45.815 --> 00:01:48.284
  • Ahead of you is not sickness but his wholeness, his peace,
  • 00:01:48.284 --> 00:01:51.454
  • His health.
  • 00:01:51.454 --> 00:01:52.789
  • In front of you is not shame. it's not condemnation.
  • 00:01:52.789 --> 00:01:55.692
  • It is glory, favor, and abundance of grace--
  • 00:01:55.692 --> 00:01:59.362
  • In front of you.
  • 00:01:59.362 --> 00:02:01.130
  • Expectation of good in your life, why?
  • 00:02:01.130 --> 00:02:03.666
  • Your sins are forgiven. can i have a good amen?
  • 00:02:03.666 --> 00:02:07.237
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:02:07.237 --> 00:02:13.376
  • Joseph prince: jesus died as an overpayment to god.
  • 00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:17.847
  • The cross is god's love making payment to god's justice.
  • 00:02:17.847 --> 00:02:25.021
  • God's justice and righteousness has perfect--
  • 00:02:25.021 --> 00:02:29.826
  • Has nothing but perfection, perfect requirements--amen?--
  • 00:02:29.826 --> 00:02:33.563
  • From all of us.
  • 00:02:33.563 --> 00:02:34.897
  • But we are unable to-- we have all sinned.
  • 00:02:34.897 --> 00:02:36.666
  • We are all weak.
  • 00:02:36.666 --> 00:02:38.001
  • We have all fallen short of the glory of god.
  • 00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:40.637
  • So god sent his son.
  • 00:02:40.637 --> 00:02:42.605
  • The same god who is to receive payment
  • 00:02:42.605 --> 00:02:45.208
  • Sent his son to die for our sins.
  • 00:02:45.208 --> 00:02:47.477
  • So now when we come to god,
  • 00:02:47.477 --> 00:02:49.512
  • Because jesus is an overpayment for our sins--
  • 00:02:49.512 --> 00:02:52.315
  • Let's say our sins, in the analogy of money, okay?
  • 00:02:52.315 --> 00:02:55.051
  • Let's say our sins is like $100,000, amen?
  • 00:02:55.051 --> 00:02:57.820
  • Jesus is one billion dollars. so he's an overpayment.
  • 00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:01.157
  • And that's why the bible says,
  • 00:03:01.157 --> 00:03:02.659
  • "much more, much more, much more left"--amen?--
  • 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.762
  • Because he's an overpayment.
  • 00:03:05.762 --> 00:03:07.096
  • If you know the value of jesus christ,
  • 00:03:07.096 --> 00:03:09.332
  • The altogether lovely one, he's an overpayment, amen?
  • 00:03:09.332 --> 00:03:13.403
  • The lord said in the communion-- matthew 26, he says this:
  • 00:03:13.403 --> 00:03:17.674
  • "he took the cup and says, 'drink from it, all of you.
  • 00:03:17.674 --> 00:03:20.043
  • For this is my blood of the new covenant,
  • 00:03:20.043 --> 00:03:22.445
  • Which is shed for reminder of sins,'"
  • 00:03:22.445 --> 00:03:27.617
  • For remembering sins.
  • 00:03:27.617 --> 00:03:29.085
  • No, for the remission, remitted, sending away,
  • 00:03:29.085 --> 00:03:32.822
  • Forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:03:32.822 --> 00:03:34.157
  • The word "forgiveness" is from the same greek word,
  • 00:03:34.157 --> 00:03:36.559
  • "remission," forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:03:36.559 --> 00:03:38.728
  • When you take communion, you are not to be sin conscious.
  • 00:03:38.728 --> 00:03:41.497
  • You are to remember you are forgiven of those sins.
  • 00:03:41.497 --> 00:03:45.134
  • You are forgiven.
  • 00:03:45.134 --> 00:03:46.469
  • You are a forgiven man, a forgiven woman.
  • 00:03:46.469 --> 00:03:48.171
  • If you are born again, you are forgiven of all your sins--
  • 00:03:48.171 --> 00:03:51.007
  • Past, present, and future.
  • 00:03:51.007 --> 00:03:52.575
  • When you partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:03:52.575 --> 00:03:54.210
  • You've got to be forgiveness conscious.
  • 00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:55.978
  • You're not to be sin conscious.
  • 00:03:55.978 --> 00:03:58.381
  • To be sin conscious is to insult the one who sent his son
  • 00:03:58.381 --> 00:04:03.252
  • And also to insult the lord,
  • 00:04:03.252 --> 00:04:04.620
  • To dishonor him when he sacrificed
  • 00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:06.656
  • And paid a perfect price for your forgiveness,
  • 00:04:06.656 --> 00:04:10.126
  • And yet you are acting as if he didn't do a good job,
  • 00:04:10.126 --> 00:04:13.396
  • As if the father did not give up his son.
  • 00:04:13.396 --> 00:04:16.532
  • It's a dishonor to the lord. and that's partaking unworthily.
  • 00:04:16.532 --> 00:04:23.106
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:04:23.106 --> 00:04:24.507
  • So it's vital for us to understand
  • 00:04:24.507 --> 00:04:26.642
  • That sin consciousness is not the portion of a believer.
  • 00:04:26.642 --> 00:04:32.915
  • Even though sermons that make you feel sin conscious,
  • 00:04:32.915 --> 00:04:37.086
  • They feel like the more sin conscious you are,
  • 00:04:37.086 --> 00:04:39.188
  • The more you avoid sin,
  • 00:04:39.188 --> 00:04:40.523
  • Actually produces the opposite effect.
  • 00:04:40.523 --> 00:04:42.625
  • The more sin conscious you are, the more you will sin.
  • 00:04:42.625 --> 00:04:48.731
  • The bible tells us one of our greatest possessions
  • 00:04:48.731 --> 00:04:52.635
  • Is that we know we have forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:04:52.635 --> 00:04:54.971
  • 1 john--sorry, ephesians 1, verse 7: "in him, we have--"
  • 00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:59.442
  • Say "we have."
  • 00:04:59.442 --> 00:05:00.877
  • We're not trying to have. we're not going to have.
  • 00:05:00.877 --> 00:05:06.182
  • We have.
  • 00:05:06.182 --> 00:05:07.917
  • And even in the greek, it's in the present tense.
  • 00:05:07.917 --> 00:05:10.086
  • "we have redemption through his blood."
  • 00:05:10.086 --> 00:05:14.357
  • Not only we have redemption,
  • 00:05:14.357 --> 00:05:15.892
  • Redemption is actually a release through payment.
  • 00:05:15.892 --> 00:05:20.830
  • And jesus released us from our sins.
  • 00:05:20.830 --> 00:05:24.066
  • He released us from the judgment that would accompany our sins--
  • 00:05:24.066 --> 00:05:27.570
  • All the punishment.
  • 00:05:27.570 --> 00:05:28.905
  • He released us from all that.
  • 00:05:28.905 --> 00:05:30.239
  • He released us from the penalties of sins.
  • 00:05:30.239 --> 00:05:33.443
  • And, by the way, long before there was sickness,
  • 00:05:33.443 --> 00:05:36.746
  • There was sin.
  • 00:05:36.746 --> 00:05:38.848
  • And the judgment for sickness-- for sin is sickness, aging,
  • 00:05:38.848 --> 00:05:45.188
  • Finally death.
  • 00:05:45.188 --> 00:05:46.522
  • Now, i'm not saying because of that,
  • 00:05:46.522 --> 00:05:48.224
  • You point to someone who is sick and say the person has sinned.
  • 00:05:48.224 --> 00:05:50.660
  • No, but, ultimately, all sickness comes
  • 00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:53.396
  • From adam's sin.
  • 00:05:53.396 --> 00:05:55.398
  • And sin is in the blood. you understand that?
  • 00:05:55.398 --> 00:05:57.400
  • If there was no sin, there was no sickness, right?
  • 00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:02.572
  • So when jesus forgives sins, he heals the disease.
  • 00:06:02.572 --> 00:06:04.640
  • Always in the gospels, you find him--
  • 00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:07.376
  • Every time he forgives sins, the person is healed.
  • 00:06:07.376 --> 00:06:12.014
  • So by the same token, if you're able to believe
  • 00:06:12.014 --> 00:06:13.816
  • That your sins are forgiven, hey, your body will line up.
  • 00:06:13.816 --> 00:06:19.288
  • You will start producing health and wholeness in your life.
  • 00:06:19.288 --> 00:06:22.225
  • Here it says clearly that as believers,
  • 00:06:22.225 --> 00:06:24.827
  • "in him," in christ,
  • 00:06:24.827 --> 00:06:26.529
  • We have this release from all the punishment,
  • 00:06:26.529 --> 00:06:30.600
  • From all the penalty.
  • 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:31.934
  • We have redemption through his blood.
  • 00:06:31.934 --> 00:06:34.437
  • What else do we have?
  • 00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:35.771
  • "we have the forgiveness of sins,
  • 00:06:35.771 --> 00:06:38.875
  • According to the riches of his grace."
  • 00:06:38.875 --> 00:06:43.446
  • So based on this, i'm gonna tell you right now:
  • 00:06:43.446 --> 00:06:45.748
  • When god forgives your sins,
  • 00:06:45.748 --> 00:06:47.283
  • God forgives according to the riches of his grace,
  • 00:06:47.283 --> 00:06:52.455
  • Not out of the riches of his grace.
  • 00:06:52.455 --> 00:06:54.991
  • And then when he forgives us,
  • 00:06:54.991 --> 00:06:56.325
  • That means we are forgiven of all our sins--
  • 00:06:56.325 --> 00:06:58.060
  • Past, present, and future.
  • 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:00.796
  • And let's not be afraid to say that.
  • 00:07:00.796 --> 00:07:02.732
  • Today there are voices telling us,
  • 00:07:02.732 --> 00:07:04.100
  • "yes, you are forgiven of your sins--your past sins--
  • 00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:07.069
  • But your future sins are not forgiven."
  • 00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:08.671
  • No, my friend.
  • 00:07:08.671 --> 00:07:10.006
  • That is not scriptural, and that's erroneous.
  • 00:07:10.006 --> 00:07:12.742
  • And to hold on to that is to dishonor god.
  • 00:07:12.742 --> 00:07:15.611
  • We are forgiven of all our sins--
  • 00:07:15.611 --> 00:07:17.013
  • Past, present, and future-- because we are forgiven
  • 00:07:17.013 --> 00:07:19.649
  • According to the riches of his grace.
  • 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:22.118
  • In any case, jesus died 2000 years ago
  • 00:07:22.118 --> 00:07:24.253
  • So all of us don't have a past sin to be forgiven.
  • 00:07:24.253 --> 00:07:26.722
  • Even your past sins, let's say you got born again in 1980,
  • 00:07:26.722 --> 00:07:30.259
  • All right?
  • 00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:31.594
  • But you're thinking that "when i got saved,
  • 00:07:31.594 --> 00:07:33.229
  • My life from 1960 to 1980, 20 years of sins,
  • 00:07:33.229 --> 00:07:38.734
  • Is all forgiven."
  • 00:07:38.734 --> 00:07:41.571
  • But from now on, depending on your denominational belief,
  • 00:07:41.571 --> 00:07:44.073
  • "there are things i must do: confess my sins, catch my sins,
  • 00:07:44.073 --> 00:07:47.143
  • Confess my sins, catch my sins."
  • 00:07:47.143 --> 00:07:48.811
  • And you think that you're not forgiven,
  • 00:07:48.811 --> 00:07:50.780
  • But you're forgiven as you go.
  • 00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.548
  • Hey, in the first place, even your past sins now
  • 00:07:52.548 --> 00:07:55.484
  • Is future when jesus died-- unless you're 2000 years old.
  • 00:07:55.484 --> 00:08:00.556
  • All your sins are future when jesus died.
  • 00:08:00.556 --> 00:08:03.726
  • Jesus did not believe that if people know their sins
  • 00:08:03.726 --> 00:08:06.562
  • Are forgiven-- past, present, and future--
  • 00:08:06.562 --> 00:08:08.998
  • They'll become licentious.
  • 00:08:08.998 --> 00:08:11.300
  • Jesus didn't believe that.
  • 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:12.802
  • There's a story in the bible and gospels,
  • 00:08:12.802 --> 00:08:14.270
  • In the gospel of luke,
  • 00:08:14.270 --> 00:08:15.738
  • Where it tells us that there was a woman of ill repute--
  • 00:08:15.738 --> 00:08:19.241
  • Probably a prostitute, most likely.
  • 00:08:19.241 --> 00:08:20.810
  • She came to the house of the pharisee.
  • 00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:23.112
  • His name was simon. he invited jesus for dinner.
  • 00:08:23.112 --> 00:08:26.415
  • So jesus went to his house.
  • 00:08:26.415 --> 00:08:27.984
  • And in those days, they would-- all right?--recline to eat.
  • 00:08:27.984 --> 00:08:32.021
  • So jesus would be facing simon, who invited him.
  • 00:08:32.021 --> 00:08:34.323
  • It was simon's house.
  • 00:08:34.323 --> 00:08:35.658
  • And along came this woman to the house.
  • 00:08:35.658 --> 00:08:38.294
  • How she knew the address, i don't know.
  • 00:08:38.294 --> 00:08:39.862
  • Okay, anyway, she came to simon's house,
  • 00:08:39.862 --> 00:08:42.732
  • And the bible says she came behind jesus,
  • 00:08:42.732 --> 00:08:44.900
  • And she started weeping at his feet,
  • 00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:48.704
  • Washing his feet with her tears.
  • 00:08:48.704 --> 00:08:52.575
  • Actually, the word down there is not even "washing."
  • 00:08:52.575 --> 00:08:53.909
  • It's very beautiful.
  • 00:08:53.909 --> 00:08:55.244
  • In the greek it's actually the word "bedew" his feet,
  • 00:08:55.244 --> 00:08:58.914
  • Like rain on his feet.
  • 00:08:58.914 --> 00:09:00.249
  • And then she used her hair to wipe his feet,
  • 00:09:00.249 --> 00:09:02.952
  • And then she poured expensive ointment
  • 00:09:02.952 --> 00:09:04.553
  • On his feet, crying all the time.
  • 00:09:04.553 --> 00:09:07.156
  • And the lord looked at simon.
  • 00:09:07.156 --> 00:09:09.492
  • Obviously, the lord is looking at simon,
  • 00:09:09.492 --> 00:09:11.027
  • And she was behind jesus, right?
  • 00:09:11.027 --> 00:09:12.461
  • Simon is looking at her.
  • 00:09:12.461 --> 00:09:14.397
  • And simon, in his heart, the pharisee says,
  • 00:09:14.397 --> 00:09:17.033
  • "if the lord knew what kind of woman this is--"
  • 00:09:17.033 --> 00:09:20.169
  • In the first place, i don't know how she found his address.
  • 00:09:20.169 --> 00:09:26.542
  • And he knew what kind of woman she is.
  • 00:09:26.542 --> 00:09:27.910
  • "if the lord--" he said--
  • 00:09:27.910 --> 00:09:29.712
  • So you can't tell by our appearance, right?
  • 00:09:29.712 --> 00:09:31.113
  • If not, the lord will know, right?
  • 00:09:31.113 --> 00:09:32.982
  • At least he thinks so, right?
  • 00:09:32.982 --> 00:09:34.483
  • So he says, "if this man--" he didn't use the word "the lord."
  • 00:09:34.483 --> 00:09:37.720
  • He says, "if he is a holy man, if he is a prophet,
  • 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.524
  • He will know what kind of woman this is."
  • 00:09:41.524 --> 00:09:42.958
  • Obviously, he knew. how he know, i don't know.
  • 00:09:42.958 --> 00:09:46.762
  • Do you think jesus knew what kind of woman she was?
  • 00:09:46.762 --> 00:09:48.264
  • Of course. then jesus knew his thoughts.
  • 00:09:48.264 --> 00:09:51.600
  • By the way, he knows all our thoughts.
  • 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.170
  • And he loves you, still. jesus looked at simon.
  • 00:09:54.170 --> 00:09:59.308
  • "simon, i wanna tell you something.
  • 00:09:59.308 --> 00:10:00.943
  • There was once two debtors that owed a creditor some money."
  • 00:10:00.943 --> 00:10:06.982
  • Two debtors: simon and the woman.
  • 00:10:06.982 --> 00:10:10.720
  • He mentioned two.
  • 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.054
  • "there were two debtors that owed a creditor
  • 00:10:12.054 --> 00:10:14.356
  • Some amount of money.
  • 00:10:14.356 --> 00:10:15.691
  • The first one owed $100,000. the other one owed $100.
  • 00:10:15.691 --> 00:10:22.098
  • When they both could not pay him,
  • 00:10:22.098 --> 00:10:24.867
  • He freely forgave them both.
  • 00:10:24.867 --> 00:10:28.003
  • "now, simon, which of the two will love him more?"
  • 00:10:28.003 --> 00:10:31.407
  • Jesus asked.
  • 00:10:31.407 --> 00:10:32.775
  • Now, he was speaking simon's language,
  • 00:10:32.775 --> 00:10:36.112
  • The language that all singaporeans also understand:
  • 00:10:36.112 --> 00:10:39.115
  • Money.
  • 00:10:39.115 --> 00:10:43.619
  • "so which of the two will he-- will love him more:
  • 00:10:43.619 --> 00:10:47.490
  • The one who was forgiven $100,000
  • 00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:49.692
  • Or the one forgiven $1000?"
  • 00:10:49.692 --> 00:10:52.161
  • And the guy understood. straightaway he told jesus.
  • 00:10:52.161 --> 00:10:54.196
  • Need no spiritual discernment for the answer.
  • 00:10:54.196 --> 00:10:55.664
  • He said, "i suppose the one who owed him $100,000,
  • 00:10:55.664 --> 00:11:00.035
  • The one who was forgiven more."
  • 00:11:00.035 --> 00:11:01.504
  • "i came to your house."
  • 00:11:01.504 --> 00:11:02.838
  • I'm going to give you the greek, okay?
  • 00:11:02.838 --> 00:11:04.173
  • "i came to your house.
  • 00:11:04.173 --> 00:11:05.508
  • You gave me no customary greeting.
  • 00:11:05.508 --> 00:11:08.611
  • You didn't even give me the ordinary oil
  • 00:11:08.611 --> 00:11:10.946
  • To put on my feet for special guests.
  • 00:11:10.946 --> 00:11:13.516
  • But she has not--she has put special ointment on my feet.
  • 00:11:13.516 --> 00:11:19.054
  • You gave me no customary greeting.
  • 00:11:19.054 --> 00:11:21.056
  • You didn't even wash my feet when i came."
  • 00:11:21.056 --> 00:11:23.325
  • And that's not only for vips. that's for any guest.
  • 00:11:23.325 --> 00:11:25.961
  • "but she has not ceased to weep on my feet since i came.
  • 00:11:25.961 --> 00:11:32.701
  • Simon, the reason why she did that,
  • 00:11:32.701 --> 00:11:36.972
  • Those who are forgiven much will love much.
  • 00:11:36.972 --> 00:11:40.743
  • And the reason why you didn't do it
  • 00:11:40.743 --> 00:11:42.077
  • Is because you think that you are forgiven little.
  • 00:11:42.077 --> 00:11:45.848
  • You think you are forgiven only of $1000.
  • 00:11:45.848 --> 00:11:48.617
  • And she knows she's forgiven."
  • 00:11:48.617 --> 00:11:49.952
  • By the way, there's no such thing
  • 00:11:49.952 --> 00:11:51.554
  • As him only being forgiven of $1000.
  • 00:11:51.554 --> 00:11:53.956
  • We are all bad, wicked sinners. we compare ourselves.
  • 00:11:53.956 --> 00:11:58.194
  • We judge ourselves based on our intent.
  • 00:11:58.194 --> 00:12:01.096
  • We judge others based on their action.
  • 00:12:01.096 --> 00:12:06.168
  • We don't judge ourselves based on action.
  • 00:12:06.168 --> 00:12:07.603
  • "i didn't mean to. i didn't intend to."
  • 00:12:07.603 --> 00:12:12.174
  • But we judge others based-- so, actually,
  • 00:12:12.174 --> 00:12:14.043
  • When you look at the ten commandments,
  • 00:12:14.043 --> 00:12:15.444
  • We are all--all of us here, under the sound of my voice--
  • 00:12:15.444 --> 00:12:17.913
  • Don't be offended, okay?-- all of us, me included,
  • 00:12:17.913 --> 00:12:20.115
  • Have broken the ten commandments, all ten.
  • 00:12:20.115 --> 00:12:22.551
  • That makes us bad sinners.
  • 00:12:22.551 --> 00:12:25.454
  • "i never committed adultery, pastor prince."
  • 00:12:25.454 --> 00:12:26.989
  • Have you ever lust for a woman? jesus calls that adultery.
  • 00:12:26.989 --> 00:12:30.693
  • "i've never murdered anyone."
  • 00:12:30.693 --> 00:12:32.027
  • Have you hated anyone before, in your heart?
  • 00:12:32.027 --> 00:12:34.496
  • Jesus calls that murder.
  • 00:12:34.496 --> 00:12:40.336
  • "oh, pastor prince, i--" and the worst one is the--
  • 00:12:40.336 --> 00:12:43.205
  • Number ten, right?
  • 00:12:43.205 --> 00:12:45.040
  • The worst sin is number ten.
  • 00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:47.209
  • Everyone commits that: "thou shall not covet."
  • 00:12:47.209 --> 00:12:50.145
  • Don't desire what belongs to your neighbor.
  • 00:12:50.145 --> 00:12:52.348
  • Don't desire his wife. don't desire his house.
  • 00:12:52.348 --> 00:12:55.217
  • Don't desire his transportation. and what have you done?
  • 00:12:55.217 --> 00:13:00.890
  • Some of you, like me, covet pastor lawrence's hairstyle
  • 00:13:00.890 --> 00:13:05.361
  • Just now.
  • 00:13:05.361 --> 00:13:09.131
  • So here we are.
  • 00:13:09.131 --> 00:13:11.066
  • The belief that if people know they are forgiven much,
  • 00:13:11.066 --> 00:13:14.236
  • They will go crazy, they will-- it's not true at all.
  • 00:13:14.236 --> 00:13:17.339
  • In fact, it gives you a calmness before god
  • 00:13:17.339 --> 00:13:21.510
  • To know that you don't have to worry.
  • 00:13:21.510 --> 00:13:23.746
  • When you come to god, you are always forgiven.
  • 00:13:23.746 --> 00:13:26.348
  • You cannot be unforgiven.
  • 00:13:26.348 --> 00:13:28.784
  • David described this generation--
  • 00:13:28.784 --> 00:13:31.620
  • Post-resurrection of jesus christ--
  • 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:33.289
  • David was a prophet, and david saw the future.
  • 00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:36.225
  • And this is what david saw:
  • 00:13:36.225 --> 00:13:37.593
  • "just as david also describes the blessedness of the man
  • 00:13:37.593 --> 00:13:40.963
  • To whom god imputes righteousness apart from works:
  • 00:13:40.963 --> 00:13:45.000
  • David says, 'blessed are those
  • 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.335
  • Who are forgiven of their sins.'"
  • 00:13:46.335 --> 00:13:47.903
  • Look at verse 8: "blessed is the man to whom the lord
  • 00:13:47.903 --> 00:13:51.240
  • Shall not impute sin."
  • 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.741
  • So david saw the future,
  • 00:13:52.741 --> 00:13:54.376
  • And david saw a generation of people whom--
  • 00:13:54.376 --> 00:13:57.279
  • He saw the new people in new creation church...
  • 00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.983
  • He saw people of the new covenant
  • 00:14:00.983 --> 00:14:02.551
  • All over the world.
  • 00:14:02.551 --> 00:14:03.886
  • The future after jesus died and rose again--he saw them.
  • 00:14:03.886 --> 00:14:06.689
  • Some commentators say that he was describing himself.
  • 00:14:06.689 --> 00:14:09.158
  • No, he's saying, "blessed is the man,"
  • 00:14:09.158 --> 00:14:10.592
  • Not "blessed am i; i am blessed."
  • 00:14:10.592 --> 00:14:12.895
  • No, he was envious.
  • 00:14:12.895 --> 00:14:14.697
  • He was looking forward by the spirit,
  • 00:14:14.697 --> 00:14:17.132
  • And he saw a people who are forgiven of their sins.
  • 00:14:17.132 --> 00:14:20.102
  • And not only that, they are blessed
  • 00:14:20.102 --> 00:14:21.670
  • Because the lord will not impute sin to them.

  • Joseph prince: "blessed is the man to whom the lord
  • 00:15:12.554 --> 00:15:14.223
  • Shall not impute sin."
  • 00:15:14.223 --> 00:15:15.824
  • The word "impute" is an accounting word:
  • 00:15:15.824 --> 00:15:18.594
  • "will not set to his account."
  • 00:15:18.594 --> 00:15:21.163
  • Now, is this person a person who has it all together?
  • 00:15:21.163 --> 00:15:23.899
  • No.
  • 00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:25.234
  • If a person doesn't sin,
  • 00:15:25.234 --> 00:15:26.568
  • Why should god impute sin to him?
  • 00:15:26.568 --> 00:15:29.071
  • But it's a person who is not perfect, like you and i.
  • 00:15:29.071 --> 00:15:31.240
  • Yet we are blessed because--
  • 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.342
  • After jesus's death and resurrection,
  • 00:15:33.342 --> 00:15:35.077
  • Because of what christ did,
  • 00:15:35.077 --> 00:15:36.478
  • We are blessed because the lord will not impute sin to us.
  • 00:15:36.478 --> 00:15:41.884
  • And the word "shall not" is one of those words
  • 00:15:41.884 --> 00:15:45.821
  • We call the double negative: shall not.
  • 00:15:45.821 --> 00:15:47.756
  • Usually in the scriptures, they use one of them--
  • 00:15:47.756 --> 00:15:50.092
  • Either "ou" or "me"-- as a negative.
  • 00:15:50.092 --> 00:15:52.194
  • When you put ou and me together, "oume," "shall not."
  • 00:15:52.194 --> 00:15:55.264
  • Certainly not! never!
  • 00:15:55.264 --> 00:15:56.865
  • "blessed is the man to whom the lord
  • 00:15:56.865 --> 00:15:58.567
  • Will never ever impute sin to his account."
  • 00:15:58.567 --> 00:16:04.406
  • So imagine living life knowing that god will never impute sin
  • 00:16:04.406 --> 00:16:07.476
  • To your account.
  • 00:16:07.476 --> 00:16:08.811
  • Does that make you wanna sin? no.
  • 00:16:08.811 --> 00:16:10.913
  • But should you fall? should you be fearful?
  • 00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:13.482
  • Like, guys, you all know, like, sometimes
  • 00:16:13.482 --> 00:16:15.484
  • In the middle of the night or you're sleeping,
  • 00:16:15.484 --> 00:16:16.819
  • You're just minding your own business--
  • 00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:18.153
  • Usually, when you're sleeping,
  • 00:16:18.153 --> 00:16:19.488
  • You're minding your own business.
  • 00:16:19.488 --> 00:16:20.823
  • Anyway, you're sleeping and you have bad dreams, okay?
  • 00:16:20.823 --> 00:16:23.659
  • You have dreams of movies
  • 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.527
  • That you have watched in times past,
  • 00:16:25.527 --> 00:16:27.563
  • Pictures you have seen of bygone days.
  • 00:16:27.563 --> 00:16:31.700
  • And all of a sudden, the devil, you know,
  • 00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:33.368
  • Shoots those images in your mind, in your dreams,
  • 00:16:33.368 --> 00:16:36.805
  • And you start having these bad dreams.
  • 00:16:36.805 --> 00:16:39.508
  • When you wake up, do you feel like you have sinned,
  • 00:16:39.508 --> 00:16:42.010
  • You're out of fellowship?
  • 00:16:42.010 --> 00:16:43.345
  • What do you do?
  • 00:16:43.345 --> 00:16:44.680
  • I'll tell you what i did last time:
  • 00:16:44.680 --> 00:16:46.014
  • I would just confess them.
  • 00:16:46.014 --> 00:16:47.349
  • Even though i was very tired,
  • 00:16:47.349 --> 00:16:48.684
  • I would say, "father, forgive me, lord."
  • 00:16:48.684 --> 00:16:50.119
  • I don't want to go to sleep unless i know i'm forgiven.
  • 00:16:50.119 --> 00:16:52.321
  • I want to be right with god. keep short accounts with god.
  • 00:16:52.321 --> 00:16:54.790
  • So i confessed. i was very tired.
  • 00:16:54.790 --> 00:16:56.658
  • And usually by the time i confess, finish, i'm awake.
  • 00:16:56.658 --> 00:17:00.929
  • But what if i wake up and i realize i had a bad dream?
  • 00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:05.100
  • Now, no one is in control of their dream, right?
  • 00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:07.503
  • You can't say, [dee ma ma mum]
  • 00:17:07.503 --> 00:17:09.705
  • "today i'm going to disneyland," you know?
  • 00:17:09.705 --> 00:17:11.106
  • "you know, today i'm going--"
  • 00:17:11.106 --> 00:17:12.741
  • You can't--i mean, but, anyway, this is what i believe.
  • 00:17:12.741 --> 00:17:15.377
  • I was wrong-believing.
  • 00:17:15.377 --> 00:17:16.712
  • So i got up, i felt depressed, i had to confess,
  • 00:17:16.712 --> 00:17:18.714
  • I had to be right with god, and i lost my sleep.
  • 00:17:18.714 --> 00:17:23.318
  • But now when i wake up, it's a bad dream.
  • 00:17:23.318 --> 00:17:24.786
  • Even fearful dreams. fearful dreams.
  • 00:17:24.786 --> 00:17:28.290
  • Do you know fear is sin?
  • 00:17:28.290 --> 00:17:30.726
  • You see, the more you know,
  • 00:17:30.726 --> 00:17:32.060
  • The more you realize a lot of things are sin.
  • 00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.428
  • Whatever is not of faith is sin. do you confess that?
  • 00:17:33.428 --> 00:17:36.365
  • So when i have fearful dreams, one of the things i wake up,
  • 00:17:36.365 --> 00:17:39.701
  • I don't just bind it.
  • 00:17:39.701 --> 00:17:41.036
  • I'll say, "father," i confess that i've sinned.
  • 00:17:41.036 --> 00:17:43.505
  • I wanna be right with god. today i just wake up.
  • 00:17:43.505 --> 00:17:48.310
  • I just had a fearful dream, and i say,
  • 00:17:48.310 --> 00:17:50.145
  • "thank you, lord, it's forgiven me."
  • 00:17:50.145 --> 00:17:52.714
  • I'm in favor with god.
  • 00:17:52.714 --> 00:17:54.049
  • I go back to sleep. it's all what you believe.
  • 00:17:54.049 --> 00:17:57.986
  • If you know you are forgiven, there's such a peace.
  • 00:17:57.986 --> 00:18:01.156
  • And the peace translates into health.
  • 00:18:01.156 --> 00:18:04.092
  • I want to read to you a testimony
  • 00:18:04.092 --> 00:18:06.161
  • From this precious brother.
  • 00:18:06.161 --> 00:18:07.496
  • And you see whether his life-- he's only 21 years old.
  • 00:18:07.496 --> 00:18:10.933
  • At the point he's going through all this
  • 00:18:10.933 --> 00:18:12.267
  • Probably in his late teens until the point he wrote this.
  • 00:18:12.267 --> 00:18:15.437
  • And see how similar it is.
  • 00:18:15.437 --> 00:18:17.005
  • [in southern accent] his name is josh from alabama, united states.
  • 00:18:17.005 --> 00:18:22.110
  • "pastor prince, i've been a christian
  • 00:18:22.110 --> 00:18:24.213
  • Since i was four years old.
  • 00:18:24.213 --> 00:18:26.315
  • And when i was 15, i was on fire for the lord
  • 00:18:26.315 --> 00:18:29.218
  • And even prayed three hours a day."
  • 00:18:29.218 --> 00:18:31.453
  • Mmm, gabriel?
  • 00:18:31.453 --> 00:18:35.090
  • "i heard from the lord and knew i was called
  • 00:18:35.090 --> 00:18:37.392
  • To serve in ministry.
  • 00:18:37.392 --> 00:18:39.061
  • But i began to have blasphemous thoughts."
  • 00:18:39.061 --> 00:18:41.330
  • Hm, blasphemous thoughts.
  • 00:18:41.330 --> 00:18:42.664
  • "i struggled with them for months
  • 00:18:42.664 --> 00:18:44.700
  • And even believed i had committed
  • 00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:46.401
  • The unpardonable sin.
  • 00:18:46.401 --> 00:18:47.903
  • This drove me deeper into despondency.
  • 00:18:47.903 --> 00:18:50.539
  • No matter how much i prayed or how many pastors
  • 00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.774
  • I went to for help, i just felt worse and worse.
  • 00:18:52.774 --> 00:18:55.811
  • I thought god had forsaken me, and i had no hope.
  • 00:18:55.811 --> 00:19:00.549
  • The enemy continued to attack my mind constantly
  • 00:19:00.549 --> 00:19:02.951
  • For five years,
  • 00:19:02.951 --> 00:19:04.419
  • And i thought of committing suicide.
  • 00:19:04.419 --> 00:19:06.788
  • I ran from god and began to party and take drugs."
  • 00:19:06.788 --> 00:19:10.092
  • Many times people party with loud music
  • 00:19:10.092 --> 00:19:12.194
  • To drown the pain and the void they feel inside.
  • 00:19:12.194 --> 00:19:15.297
  • That's what he did.
  • 00:19:15.297 --> 00:19:16.632
  • "i started taking drugs.
  • 00:19:16.632 --> 00:19:17.966
  • I almost overdosed on drugs multiple times.
  • 00:19:17.966 --> 00:19:21.203
  • I barely graduated from high school,
  • 00:19:21.203 --> 00:19:22.671
  • But i flunked college.
  • 00:19:22.671 --> 00:19:24.106
  • The overbearing thoughts were so torturous.
  • 00:19:24.106 --> 00:19:26.508
  • I would scream and cry constantly
  • 00:19:26.508 --> 00:19:28.343
  • And was almost referred to a mental asylum.
  • 00:19:28.343 --> 00:19:31.747
  • One day i went home, high on drugs,
  • 00:19:31.747 --> 00:19:35.083
  • And i saw my mom listening to your grace sermons.
  • 00:19:35.083 --> 00:19:38.220
  • I heard about god's grace before,
  • 00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:39.655
  • But didn't know whether it was real or not.
  • 00:19:39.655 --> 00:19:41.356
  • I wrestled with the message for a long time.
  • 00:19:41.356 --> 00:19:44.026
  • After watching your sermons one night,
  • 00:19:44.026 --> 00:19:47.029
  • I felt hope for the first time.
  • 00:19:47.029 --> 00:19:49.298
  • I asked god whether the gospel of grace was the truth,
  • 00:19:49.298 --> 00:19:52.134
  • And i felt his strong presence in my room.
  • 00:19:52.134 --> 00:19:55.937
  • Tears fell down my face as he revealed to me
  • 00:19:55.937 --> 00:19:58.240
  • That grace is the gospel.
  • 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.143
  • Since then, my mind has cleared up.
  • 00:20:01.143 --> 00:20:03.578
  • I've also been completely set free from drugs, alcohol,
  • 00:20:03.578 --> 00:20:07.649
  • And cigarettes.
  • 00:20:07.649 --> 00:20:09.017
  • My life has been changed.
  • 00:20:09.017 --> 00:20:10.419
  • I am awestruck realizing that god had been guiding me
  • 00:20:10.419 --> 00:20:13.021
  • To your ministry the whole time.
  • 00:20:13.021 --> 00:20:14.690
  • The lord has also led me to pray for others
  • 00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:16.458
  • To receive the revelation of his grace.
  • 00:20:16.458 --> 00:20:18.694
  • Many of my friends have been saved,
  • 00:20:18.694 --> 00:20:21.229
  • And my mother's life has been radically transformed too.
  • 00:20:21.229 --> 00:20:23.965
  • God has called me to ministry at age--at the age of 21."
  • 00:20:23.965 --> 00:20:29.104
  • This is not the first one.
  • 00:20:29.104 --> 00:20:30.439
  • There are so many young people, millennials--
  • 00:20:30.439 --> 00:20:31.773
  • And even younger than that-- right now, coming forth,
  • 00:20:31.773 --> 00:20:34.976
  • Who are on fire for jesus.
  • 00:20:34.976 --> 00:20:36.645
  • And many of them are going full-time.
  • 00:20:36.645 --> 00:20:40.248
  • See what the gospel of grace has done.
  • 00:20:40.248 --> 00:20:42.617
  • "my life has never been more exciting
  • 00:20:42.617 --> 00:20:44.319
  • And filled with purpose.
  • 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:45.721
  • There are no words to describe this turnaround in my life.
  • 00:20:45.721 --> 00:20:48.357
  • God rescued me from the brink of death through your ministry.
  • 00:20:48.357 --> 00:20:51.426
  • Thank you, pastor prince, for preaching the true,
  • 00:20:51.426 --> 00:20:53.662
  • Unadulterated gospel of grace."
  • 00:20:53.662 --> 00:20:56.765
  • And god is getting them young.
  • 00:20:56.765 --> 00:20:58.100
  • Praise the lord. hallelujah!
  • 00:20:58.100 --> 00:20:59.935
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:20:59.935 --> 00:21:02.871
  • Let's bring this to a close. let's go now to 1 john 2.
  • 00:21:02.871 --> 00:21:07.976
  • Now, 1 john 2 is after 1 john 1. just let you know that.
  • 00:21:07.976 --> 00:21:13.448
  • This is 1 john, chapter 2, verse 12.
  • 00:21:13.448 --> 00:21:16.485
  • The confession of sin is 1 john, chapter 1, verse 9, okay?
  • 00:21:16.485 --> 00:21:21.623
  • So this after chapter 1, right?
  • 00:21:21.623 --> 00:21:24.593
  • Okay, john is saying, "i write to you, little children,
  • 00:21:24.593 --> 00:21:27.629
  • Because your sins are forgiven you
  • 00:21:27.629 --> 00:21:30.832
  • For his name's sake."
  • 00:21:30.832 --> 00:21:32.167
  • "forgiven" is future or past? already forgiven, right?
  • 00:21:32.167 --> 00:21:38.006
  • Am i right?
  • 00:21:38.006 --> 00:21:39.741
  • By the way, in the greek, it is the perfect tense.
  • 00:21:39.741 --> 00:21:42.210
  • "forgiven" is the perfect tense, which means an--
  • 00:21:42.210 --> 00:21:44.780
  • One act that cannot be repeated, but the results endure forever.
  • 00:21:44.780 --> 00:21:51.420
  • Perfect tense, once and for all, never to be repeated,
  • 00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:55.824
  • With consequent, perpetual results.
  • 00:21:55.824 --> 00:22:00.028
  • You are forgiven, forgiven.
  • 00:22:00.028 --> 00:22:05.100
  • Now, supposing 1 john 1:9
  • 00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:08.303
  • Says, "for the believer, they are forgiven
  • 00:22:08.303 --> 00:22:10.472
  • Only when they confess their sins."
  • 00:22:10.472 --> 00:22:13.875
  • 1 john, next chapter, he writes--is he schizo?
  • 00:22:13.875 --> 00:22:18.747
  • One moment he says, "you must confess
  • 00:22:18.747 --> 00:22:20.081
  • To be forgiven."
  • 00:22:20.081 --> 00:22:21.416
  • Another moment he says, "hey, you are forgiven, children."
  • 00:22:21.416 --> 00:22:23.618
  • He calls us children. it's a very affectionate word.
  • 00:22:23.618 --> 00:22:26.388
  • "my little children" is the word "teknia,"
  • 00:22:26.388 --> 00:22:28.990
  • Affectionate terms of endearment.
  • 00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:30.792
  • "my little children," referring to all of us believers,
  • 00:22:30.792 --> 00:22:33.495
  • Saying that "your sins are forgiven you
  • 00:22:33.495 --> 00:22:36.131
  • For his name's sake."
  • 00:22:36.131 --> 00:22:39.401
  • Obviously, he said it as a given.
  • 00:22:39.401 --> 00:22:43.472
  • Now, in those days, they don't have smartphones.
  • 00:22:43.472 --> 00:22:45.407
  • They don't even have telegram--
  • 00:22:45.407 --> 00:22:49.044
  • Our fathers' days, our grandparents' days.
  • 00:22:49.044 --> 00:22:51.947
  • In those days, they send their letter
  • 00:22:51.947 --> 00:22:55.484
  • Or their correspondence,
  • 00:22:55.484 --> 00:22:56.818
  • Whatever they are writing-- on a scroll.
  • 00:22:56.818 --> 00:22:58.153
  • They send it by camel, at camel speed--
  • 00:22:58.153 --> 00:23:02.057
  • Think about it-- or donkeys, right?
  • 00:23:02.057 --> 00:23:08.096
  • Now, how long does it take for this letter
  • 00:23:08.096 --> 00:23:09.598
  • To reach his destination?
  • 00:23:09.598 --> 00:23:10.932
  • Maybe one month, two months? let's say one month, one month.
  • 00:23:10.932 --> 00:23:13.535
  • So he writes, "i write to you, little children,
  • 00:23:13.535 --> 00:23:16.338
  • Because your sins are forgiven you,"
  • 00:23:16.338 --> 00:23:18.206
  • And it takes one month for that message to go
  • 00:23:18.206 --> 00:23:20.175
  • And arrive there.
  • 00:23:20.175 --> 00:23:21.510
  • What if during that one month, you sin?
  • 00:23:21.510 --> 00:23:26.281
  • So the message is now what? outdated.
  • 00:23:26.281 --> 00:23:30.185
  • Am i right?
  • 00:23:30.185 --> 00:23:32.587
  • No, obviously for him to state emphatically,
  • 00:23:32.587 --> 00:23:36.892
  • In an unqualified way,
  • 00:23:36.892 --> 00:23:38.360
  • He must know the truth of what jesus did at the cross.
  • 00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:41.463
  • He can write at any time, "your sins are forgiven you,"
  • 00:23:41.463 --> 00:23:44.065
  • Because, at any time, you know you are forgiven of your sins.
  • 00:23:44.065 --> 00:23:48.336
  • And to live in that place,
  • 00:23:48.336 --> 00:23:49.871
  • To know that every time a bad thought comes--
  • 00:23:49.871 --> 00:23:52.140
  • You're driving down the road,
  • 00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:53.475
  • You say something you shouldn't have said,
  • 00:23:53.475 --> 00:23:54.809
  • Or you think something you shouldn't have thought of,
  • 00:23:54.809 --> 00:23:57.145
  • You know you are forgiven of all your sins.
  • 00:23:57.145 --> 00:23:59.514
  • Now, again, i'm talking about people who are truly born again.
  • 00:23:59.514 --> 00:24:02.183
  • You fall into sin.
  • 00:24:02.183 --> 00:24:03.518
  • But if you're living in sin, like right now, all right,
  • 00:24:03.518 --> 00:24:06.154
  • You're sitting down here
  • 00:24:06.154 --> 00:24:07.489
  • And you have a peahen in your life--
  • 00:24:07.489 --> 00:24:09.991
  • And it's not your wife--
  • 00:24:09.991 --> 00:24:13.662
  • You cannot say that "for sure i'm safe,"
  • 00:24:13.662 --> 00:24:16.932
  • Because you are in this state where you are living in sin.
  • 00:24:16.932 --> 00:24:18.934
  • Living in sin
  • 00:24:18.934 --> 00:24:20.268
  • And falling into sin here and there
  • 00:24:20.268 --> 00:24:21.736
  • Is another thing.
  • 00:24:21.736 --> 00:24:23.071
  • Are you really born again? i don't know.
  • 00:24:23.071 --> 00:24:25.574
  • If your heart should stop beating,
  • 00:24:25.574 --> 00:24:26.908
  • Is heaven your home?
  • 00:24:26.908 --> 00:24:30.845
  • Or hell is your portion?
  • 00:24:30.845 --> 00:24:32.180
  • I don't know.
  • 00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.715
  • Because i know one thing: that you're truly born again
  • 00:24:33.715 --> 00:24:37.385
  • Doesn't mean your actions are perfect.
  • 00:24:37.385 --> 00:24:39.354
  • But then the fruit will manifest,
  • 00:24:39.354 --> 00:24:42.991
  • The fruit of the spirit.
  • 00:24:42.991 --> 00:24:44.326
  • And true holiness will be a portion of your life.
  • 00:24:44.326 --> 00:24:50.966
  • So for all the peacocks and peahens out there, amen,
  • 00:24:50.966 --> 00:24:56.938
  • If you're living a life of constantly living in sin
  • 00:24:56.938 --> 00:25:00.241
  • And have no qualms about it,
  • 00:25:00.241 --> 00:25:02.510
  • Then this message is not for you,
  • 00:25:02.510 --> 00:25:03.845
  • Because you're not born again.
  • 00:25:03.845 --> 00:25:05.246
  • I'm writing to believers.
  • 00:25:05.246 --> 00:25:06.581
  • For believers, all your sins are forgiven--
  • 00:25:06.581 --> 00:25:09.284
  • Past, present, and future.
  • 00:25:09.284 --> 00:25:11.086
  • And the result is that it gives you hope
  • 00:25:11.086 --> 00:25:13.655
  • For your future.
  • 00:25:13.655 --> 00:25:15.156
  • Ahead of you is not darkness
  • 00:25:15.156 --> 00:25:16.858
  • But light and brightness and the glory.
  • 00:25:16.858 --> 00:25:19.394
  • Ahead of you is not sickness but his wholeness, his peace,
  • 00:25:19.394 --> 00:25:22.631
  • His health.
